  • About The Artwork

    Nocturne is an abstracted portrait that reads like a botanical dream: broad, leaf-shaped green strokes map a face across a moody violet field while neon yellow highlights and small red accents hold attention in the eyes. The composition balances figuration and pure gesture, allowing the paint’s motion to suggest emotion rather than literal features. This canvas abstract painting invites both close inspection for texture and distant viewing for overall mood — perfect as modern wall art or as a centerpiece among abstract art prints.

Nocturne is a confident, tactile study in color and rhythm. It functions as abstract canvas wall art that reads like portraiture — at once familiar and otherworldly. Place it where you want color to anchor a room and texture to hold the eye.

Michael, these are so beautiful, thank you. I mean, I "knew" you cared about quality but these prints are beautiful.

Excellent stuff, sir. You are great at combining visuals with words, just as you are at designing them both separately. And the print quality is superb.

Omg, I love these floral prints so much. Thank you for the extra set. They're all so beautiful and your poetry is amazing. I'm so glad I own one of your very first art prints to ever go on sale!

Never surprised by the the thought you put into every detail down to the material these are printed on, but I am always surprised by the artistic ingenuity in your work. These will live with me and the fam wherever we go.

I wish my girlfriend looked at me the way she looks at the prints I bought her. Not sure how to feel, but thank you for the surprise bonuses, and regardless of my envy, your commitment to quality deserves credit.
